This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80SCA — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80SCA in place of this model. The replacement upgrades to a riveted rolling-packed body and CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (the MAL used CS1-M / DS1-M).
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80SCA is a single acting, pull (spring extend) aluminum-barrel mini cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 80mm stroke, G1/8 ports and a fixed rubber bumper. Air drives the pull (work) stroke and the spring returns the rod — it rests extended on air loss. This model is discontinued; the drop-in replacement is the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80SCA.

About the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80SCA
The AirTAC MTAL25X80SCA is a discontinued single-acting pull-type mini cylinder with a 25mm bore and 80mm stroke. Air retracts the rod, while an internal spring extends it. It delivers a usable pull force of 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The exact drop-in replacement is the MTBL25X80SCA, matching the bore, stroke, G1/8 port, and CA pivot.
This SKU includes the -S magnet for CS1-M/DS1-M switches; the MTBL replacement uses CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. MTAL features threaded covers, while the MTBL uses a riveted rolling-packed body. The CA back cover is a pivot clevis that swings on a pin, ideal for arcing loads. The fixed rubber bumper absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80SCA Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80SCA |
|---|---|
| Series | MAL single-acting mini cylinder (discontinued) |
| Replacement | AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80SCA |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 80 mm |
| Acting type | Single acting, pull (spring extend) |
| Port size | G1/8 |
| Rod thread | M10×1.25 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.2 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 50 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Fixed rubber bumper |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 100 mm |
Single-acting minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa (the air must overcome the return spring). Do not apply an external load during the spring return stroke. The AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80SCA carries the same single-acting ratings.
Usable Pull Force (Ø25mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (net of spring) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 137.2 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 219.6 N |
Usable single-acting force after the return spring — lower than a same-bore double-acting cylinder. Size with a margin.

Where the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80SCA Is Used
Packaging Lid Lifters
Pulls carton sealing levers closed with 137.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The spring-extend fail-safe opens the mechanism automatically on air loss to prevent jams.
Textile Tension Draw
Retracts fabric tension guides on weaving looms. The CA pivot clevis accommodates slight side-play, preventing rod binding during the pull cycle.
Electronics Test Clamps
Pulls test fixtures away from PCBs. The CS1-M/DS1-M magnet provides retraction confirmation, while the fixed bumper ensures a soft park.
Replacing the Airtac MTAL Rear Single Acting Mini Cylinder MTAL25X80SCA with AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80SCA
To replace the MTAL25X80SCA, use the MTBL25X80SCA. Confirm the 25mm bore, 80mm stroke, G1/8 port, PT thread, CA pivot cover, and -S magnet. Note the sensor family change from CS1-M/DS1-M to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. Remember the 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure and the fail-safe EXTENDED home position. Apply no external load on the spring extend stroke.
For sizing, step down to the 20mm bore (81.7 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter pulls, or step up to the 32mm bore (261.2 N at 0.5 MPa) for heavier loads. At 80mm stroke, mind side-load and rod-bending forces.
Upgrade checklist
- ✓ Order the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80SCA (same bore/stroke/force)
- ✓ Same pull direction and extended fail-safe home
- ✓ Min 0.2 MPa; no external load on the spring return
- ✓ Sensor: swap CS1-M/DS1-M → CMSG/DMSG/EMSG
- ✓ Confirm back cover (CA / U) and thread (PT/NPT/G)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.2 – 1.0 MPa (min 0.2 to overcome the spring).
- check Apply no external load on the spring return stroke.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Front/rear covers are threaded — not for field disassembly.
- check For new builds, specify the AIRTACMTBLREARSINGLEACTINGMINICYLINDERMTBL25X80SCA instead of this discontinued model.
